The emblem of the Australian institute of Horticulture is the famous Golden Wattle (Acacia pycnantha).
The flower was unofficially used as the national emblem before being proclaimed as the Australian national flower in 1988.
Acacia pycnantha is a member of the Mimosaceae family and is a shrub or small tree that grows to about 6-8 metres and flowers in the late Australian winter and spring.
The colours of the Golden Wattle are also the official national colours of Australia. They are widely used by sporting teams and the community to strongly identify with Australia.
Acacia pycnantha is an appropriate Australian plant and flower emblem for the Australian Institute of Horticulture as it represents bold vigour, robust growth, hardiness, beauty and national sentiment.
